Some teachers simply look upon such o MTii't u nn of earth's unfortunate's. while some few go so far as to call the pupil a dunce and lay the Diame on Providence. s,.Mi children are unfortunate to have untrained and unsympathetic teachers. They are likewise uniorcu nate in another sense, but not as the ignorant teacher thinks. Recent stud ies of backward children demonstrate the fact that such unfortunates have some physical defect as their misfor tune. The Causes Porf oveiirht adenoids, diseased tno;i had teeth, enlarged glands, anaemia, malnutrition, one or more, may be the cause of the dullness. Fortunately all such defects can oe .KmintttMT if nroDerly treated. Provi dence i not responsible parents and teachers are.
